1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Knock 'Em Dead, Kid (2009)?
a.		The tagline and important theme of the film - "...look closer" - can be seen in Lesters cubicle at work. It was simply something a set dresser had put in, and director Sam Mendes noticed it while editing and suggested it be used for the poster.
b.		The film premiered at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival in its original running time of 229 minutes, but on its American release the film was heavily edited by the Ladd Company (against Sergio Leones wishes) and cut down to 144 minutes. This version scrapped the flashback structure Leone used, and instead arranged all the scenes in chronological order (a well-meaning but ultimately demeaning and criticized move). Most of the major cuts were in the childhood scenes, making the 1933 scenes the most prominent part of the film. Noodles 1968 meeting with Deborah was removed, and the films "garbage truck/opium den" conclusion was altered to Secretary Bailey shooting himself offscreen. This version flopped in the U.S. and many American critics, who knew of Leones original cut, attacked the short version viciously; some critics compared shortening the film to shortening Richard Wagners operas (some of which run over five hours), saying that works of art that are meant to be long should be given the respect they deserve.
c.		The original script was 165 pages, scaled way down due to budgetary constraints.
d.		Filmed in 20 days in and around Hollywood.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Knock 'Em Dead, Kid (2009)?
a.		First appearance of a Moobys restaurant in a Kevin Smith film, something that becomes a recurring establishment in future View Askewniverse films.
b.		When Frank tries to light his cigarette in the diner scene, the lighter does not work. This was not scripted. The prison story that Frank tells in his monologue is based on a letter Michael Mann received from a real inmate.
c.		Due to malfunctioning editing/computer equipment, the entire film was edited on a 2 inch video camera screen. The feed from the computer was rerouted out of the computer and the monitor being used happened to be the VCD screen. Needless to say, it took over 5 months to edit the film.
d.		The opening song at the beginning of the movie is Pink Floyds "Seamus" (Meddle, 1971). The version included in the movie is an instrumental version. The album version has vocals. During the theatre companys performance of pseudo-Hamlet, a sound bit from Pink Floyds "Echoes" (also from Meddle, 1971) can be heard. The sound of the rapier sword is the first note heard in "Echoes".

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Knock 'Em Dead, Kid (2009)?
a.		The entire movie was filmed with all natural light - using whatever light source was available, be it the sun or natural indoor lighting.
b.		Premiered at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, and the Genesee Theatre in Waukegan, with star Robert Lowery, Paramount contractees Susan Hayward, Phyllis Brooks and Albert Dekker and director William A. Berke(as William Berke) in attendance.
c.		A silent and a "part talking" version of this serial were released.
d.		The rat-like creature that chases the main characters is a giant version of the star nosed mole ("Condylura cristata"), native from Eastern Canada and North East United States. Given the fact these animals are blind, they use their nasal tentacles, known as Eimers organ, to detect food. Although all European moles share this feature, the star nosed mole is the only animal with such an specialized one. Without counting its size in the movie (real animals are between 15 to 20 cm long) nothing else was changed.

a.		Most of the film was drawn based off the Directors own life experiences.

Broward county sheriffs Deputy Don Lydanne, who was also the personal Bodyguard of the Sheriff of Broward County Ken Jenne, stood at 68 and 320 lbs. However, he was turned down for the role due to his "slimmer" physique and lack of a huge stomach.
